VDPAU API for Linux released by NVIDIA today - GPU hardware accelerated video decoder

The code is obviously working, I and others less lazy than yourself are running it. No one can tell you if your encodes will run, we've not got them and you've not told us anything about how they were encoded....

Oh and the answer is It Depends!

Oh dear, is it even worth responding to that? I guess not, I can't be bothered.

Hi,

I am considering to give this branch a try... Is it synced with the main 'linux-port' branch? (in terms of other 'non=GPU-accellerated' code). If not, what was the sync point? Just want to make sure I won't miss any of the features & bug fixes that appeared on the linux-branch for the last 2-3 months....

Thanks!

Vlad

It is synched occasionally - you can follow along in the various logs to see what's up with it as it's developed.

It's certainly not many months back, maybe a few days or so at this point.

I merge regularly, every other day or so.

how far is it from being merged back to trunc?

2 meters

- that's fresh. Never heard this one before...

If someone gets this running on the new Mac Mini (with Ubuntu of course), I'd like to know everything about it!...

Thanks for the hard work, motd2k.

I just found this thread (and read all of it) and I'm excited. I'm a *long* time XBMC xbox user - back from the original XBMP release days that barely played anything (and what it did play, it choked on horribly). Needless to say, like everyone else I've been looking at ways to replace the venerable xbox with an up to date replacement while keeping XBMC. I can't wait to put this in an ION box when they come out.

Unfortunately my nix machine has an 8800GTX and doesn't support VDPAU. Maybe I'll grab a cheap card to test with.

Regardless, thanks for all the hard work. You've made my day.

are you sure with your GTX VDPAU is not supported. Last release of linux driver (180.35) made 8xxxx supporting VDPAU ? (i have a 8800 GTS512)
